Once in a Lifetime

 

 

 

Our bromeliad plant finally bloomed. We got it as a housewarming gift over four years ago and we have patiently waited since then to see what its flower would look like. Bromeliads and pineapples are part of the same plant family and they only bloom once in their lifetime. Our bromeliad came in a pot with three others and within a couple of weeks of this bloom, the plant next to it also bloomed. I'll definitely be sad when the other two plants have given up their blooms, but hey, there's a pineapple plant sitting not far away and it's still got a once in a lifetime ahead of it.

It's Blooming November

 

 

It's well into November now and the cooler temps and shorter days are quite the downer. However, I'm pretty sure there are folks in some parts of this country that would pretty much do whatever to be dwelling in our upper 70's climate right now. This is that funny time of year around here when hibiscus are blooming beneath autumn colored crepe myrtle leaves and people can be spotted in board shorts, hoodies and flip flops.

OOH-RAH!

 

Today we celebrate the birthday of the United States Marine Corps. Without the Marines we would all be speaking a different language and sleeping with one eye open. They keep the big bad guys at bay. So thank a Devil Dog today.
Semper Fi!

November

 

 

 

 

 

It's been four long months since I've updated our little blog. Not even sure anyone still checks in on it..... We spent the remainder of Summer and the beginning of Autumn completely consumed with friends, neighbors, wods, home improvement projects (the friends and neighbors constantly interrupt these), BBQs, tubing trips, and pool time. I decided to get back at this with some photos of one our most favorite spots- Navarre Park.
